ICTP DIPLOMA PROGRAMME 2007/2008
The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) announces the seventeenth ICTP Diploma Programme, a one year advanced training programme in the field of Condensed matter Physics, High Energy Physics and Mathematics . The course will be held in Trieste, Italy, from 1st September 2007- 31st August 2008 and will lead to the ICTP Diploma (DICTP)
I. PURPOSE AND NATURE
The Diploma Programme is designed to provide young promising graduates in physics or in mathematics (Mainly from developing countries) with post-graduate training suitable for pursuing teaching and research work in these fields.
II. THE COURSES
The Diploma Programme will consist of several basic and advanced courses in Condensed Matter Physics, High Energy Physics and Mathematics to be given by experts in these fields.
In addition to some selected advanced topics in each of the three fields, the main topics will include:
Condensed Matter Physics
Solid state physics
Statistical Mechanics
Many-Body Theory
High Energy Physics
Quantum Field Theory
General Relativity
Group Theory
Particle Physics
The Standard Model
Mathematics
Algebra
Analysis
Algebraic Geometry
Differential Geometry
Topology
There will be an examination at the end of each course. After all courses are completed, participants are required to work on a dissertation, to be submitted and defended during the last month of the programme. The ICTP Diploma will be awarded only to those who successfully complete all the examinations, dissertations, and other requirements as may

be decided upon by the Scientific Committee of the DICTP. Participants may also be required to take part in the ongoing activities of the ICTP in their related fields.
The Minimum qualification for participants is a degree equivalent to M.Sc. (or exceptionally good B.Sc.) in Physics or Mathematics. The selection of candidates will be based on their university performance and on academic recommendations. Adequate proficiency in the English language is required.
The Diploma programme is open to all young (generally below 28 years of age) qualified graduates from all countries that are members of United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA. A limited number of scholarships (around 10 per field) will be awarded to successful candidates from developing countries for living expenses during their stay at the ICTP.
The centre will also offer travel grants to successful candidates. A limited number of qualified candidates may attend the courses at their own cost. There are no course fees for the Diploma Programme.
The applicant should submit the completed application form, available at: http://users.ictp.trieste.it/diploma/, as well as a transcript of academic records and a copy of the highest university degree, with authorized English translations. Two letters of recommendation, from senior scientists’ familiar with the applicant’s studies and work, are also required. Candidates selected will be required to send a certificate attesting to their English proficiency.
All applications and recommendation should be addressed to:

pls everybody i have a question i will like somebody to answer for me . can somebody tell me the;


1. Reason why relative motion causes relativity(variation in the physical
quantity e.g time,distance or frequency, as measured by differentframes).

2 Quantum theory says we cannot measure two motion properties of an electron a, t same time. Does that mean that even an electron cannot have knowledge of two of its motion properties at same time?
